Coming to the end of a long long walk when a man crawled out of a cardboard box under the
A                           E
E Street Bridge followed me on to it
E7                                  E7
I went out halfway across with that homeless shadow tagging along so I
A                                    E
Dug for some change wouldn't need it anyway he

PRE-CHORUS:
D                            Bm
Took it lookin' just a bit a-shamed he said you

I stood there tryin' to find my nerve wondering if a single soul on Earth would
A                   E
Care at all miss me when I'm gone that
`E7               `D             `E7           `D
 Old man just kept hanging around lookin' at me lookin' down I think he
A                    E
Recognized that look in my eyes

PRE-CHORUS:
D                                Bm
Standing with him there I felt a-shamed I said you

Day I walked away from the wine for a woman who became my wife and a
Bm                               `Esus4     `E
Love that when it was right could always see me through
`D            `E7                D                   A

Cool night on the E Street Bridge when a young man almost ended it I was
Bm                                   `Esus4         `E
Right there wasn't scared a bit and I helped to pull him through

End of the BRIDGE sounds like a 'slow-down' but
in fact stays in time with an extra two beats:

       Esus4       E                                  E-0- = open 6th-string
 E-0-  /     /     /                                     / = strum
   1   +   2 e +   3   +  4  +   1  +    2   +
      "one   more  time   he says   I've had my"
